press space to change costumes Algernon Swinburne was a real life poet from the Victorian Era and that is who original Swinburne's name and treasure hunt came from. In 2007 Shedletsky created the Swinburne account for a treasure hunt quest for the Void Star ROBLOX accessory, and Swinburne still remains a notable ROBLOX myth in that space. When I first came across Swinburne, I had no knowledge of him so I dismissed him as someone trying to be edgy until someone informed me. He was originally a Wither Storm ripoff mostly, idk about now. He isn't a super serious lore character but I felt sorta unhappy about the old design. I wanted to make him feel like this isn't him thus the remake. He has four main "children" based off ROBLOX hats: Void Star (just named Void Star. @pedrov4012 owns this character) Cheese Hat (Cheese Guy, OG mascot) Screw (Screw Boy. A little kid) Coif of Glory (Gladiator/Hoplite. You'll be seeing him soon) I wanted to reimagine Swinburne in a more serious light. While he still isn't a serious character I wanted to revamp his lore. You can find in the notes and credits.
Thanks to Antimo & Welles for music from Minecraft: Story Mode. Also the Wither for inspiration This has nothing to do with Forsaken. Swinburne (my version) was around before that game exploded in popularity. LORE: Swinburne was one a partner of ROBLOX and worked with his creator, Shedletsky, and his friend/Clockwork to make the Void Star treasure hunt. Since then, Swinburne loved to make horror games, both in ROBLOX and Minecraft. One day, he wanted to combined the two, which led to him destroying the surrounding pocket of reality and ending up in "HERE, where the world is quiet." There he found a lone Command Block. He knew how it worked and thought he could use it to get out of there, but it FUSED INTO HIS CHEST. Now it forever runs the command: /starve @s until null Due to this, Swinburne is merely a beast with the body of a Robloxian. The Command Block is the one calling the shots mostly. It is a very sadistic and unfeeling sentient block with the goal to just keep fueling itself using the world, the terrain, and people. It will talk instead of Swinburne often to mock or guide Swinburne to nearby "fuel." Abilities: -Flight -Absorption -Eye Tractor Beams -Eye Laser Beams -Invincibility/Respawn (not total invincibility) -Becoming a "storm" (not in this project) which basically means giant blob and bodyparts -Superhuman Speed & Strength -Growing more limbs
